The new GMSL rate over January 1993 to December 2015 is now close to 3.0 mm/yr. An important increase of the GMSL rate, of 0.8 mm/yr, is found
during the second half of the altimetry era (2004–2015) compared to the 1993–2004 time span, mostly due to Greenland mass loss increase and also
to slight increase of all other components of the budget.

I based my reply off of some of the rhetoric about global climate change due to fossil fuels that Ive seen from alarmists. You know, the end is nigh
kind of rhetoric.

As for research, ive read a bit. Heard a bit. Seen a bit. Simply an educated guess (or a straw filled strawman argument as you put it). If the "youre
crazy part" offended any one i do apologize, i should know better, im regularly called crazy with malicious intent. I can empathize.

I do think fossil fuel burning needs to be mitigated and eventually replaced which was implied by my post.

13 federal agencies unveiled an exhaustive scientific report on Friday that says humans are the dominant cause of the global temperature
rise that has created the warmest period in the history of civilization.

Over the past 115 years global average temperatures have increased 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to record-breaking weather events and temperature
extremes, the report says. The global, long-term warming trend is “unambiguous,” it says, and there is “no convincing alternative explanation”
that anything other than humans — the cars we drive, the power plants we operate, the forests we destroy — are to blame.

We are not acting on the clear and present dangers, in part because very powerful and vocal voices are advocating inaction... waiting just a bit
more... as we edge closer and closer to the abyss.

In this case, the people being Orwellian are those who are saying humans are not responsible for climate change / that we aren't warming, when all
conceivable evidence says otherwise.

These people are trying to ensure that everyone dies, whether rapture fanatics (God will destroy the Earth with Fire!), sheep misled by
propaganda driven by vested interests, or people who think they'll survive the future hellscape... these people are not just advocating a different
belief, but actively trying to kill people.
